10. Typesof nyaya
In general these nyayas are mainly two kinds based on the
utility viz.
1. Loukika nyayas
2. Shastreeya nyayas.
The Loukika nyayas are extensively used by common
people in their day to-day life Extensively available in ancient
Sanskrit literature.
Shastreeya nyayas are helpful to beautify and aid in better
understanding of the shastra 10

11. Importance of nyayas inAyurveda
 To understand the hidden concepts clearly
 For differential diagnosis of the disease
 In treatment aspects
 Helps to describe complex ideas in simpler ways so as to
understand the concept easily.
.

12. ProcessofAnalysisis in4 steps
 Padartha Jnana (Meaning): Proper knowledge of the
words in Nyaya.
 Prakriya Vijnana (Phenomenon): Eliciting phenomenon
that is implicit in Nyayas.
 Sandharbha (Reference): Knowledge of the context in
which Nyaya is used or discussed.
 Yukthi (Interpretation): Analysis of Padhartha Jnana,
Prakriya of Nyaya with the sandharbha in samhita.
12

13. SUCHIKATAHA NYAYA
• Padartha jnana: Soochi – Needle; Kataha - Frying pan
• Prakriya vijnyana: Once a man went to a blacksmith and asked him to
make a frying pan for him. In the same time another person came to
blacksmith’s store and asked him for a needle .The blacksmith decided to
make the needle first before making frying pan, as the needle would take
lesser time to make than the frying pan
• Yukthi ((Interpretation)
This nyaya mainly speaks about the sequence of choosing tasks on the
basis of ease of performing a task.
• Easier work first and difficult one next.
Ex -Swimmer swims in a small pond of water in the begining and then in
the sea. 13

(hetu linga oushada) has been explained first because of
brief subject matter compared to atura.

Jangama-Audbhida-parthiva, but while explaining acharya

In Charaka Samhita vimana Sthana Vyadhitaroopeeya Adhyaya,
during the description on the types of krimi.
Yukthi ((Interpretation)
Charaka Vimana - 7th chapter, In the context of types of krimi,
it is explained as (purishaja- shleshmaja-shonitaja- bahyaja).
They are further narrated in accordance with soochikataha nyaya,
as Bahyaja krimis are least in number(2), Pureeshaja krimis
are(5) shonitaja krimis(6) and shleshmaja krimis(7). The order of
narrating the types of krimis here goes with increasing order of
their number, which can be understood with the principle (nyaya)
of soochikatah nyaya. 18

19. SIDDHANTA ASPECTS
Adyantaviparyaya :
To describe a subject by changing the sequence.
Ex –Athatoannapana vidhim vyakhyashyamaha(ca.su.27).
Though it is Annapanavidhi, the description of pana has
been given first followed by Anna, which is the change of
sequence in description.
Analysis - Due to comparatively less area for description (5
types of Pana) it is described prior to the detailed
description of 7 types of Anna.

20. PRACTICALUTILITYINDAY TODAY LIFE
Once a Doctor went to a pharmacy and asked them to
prepare kantakari avaleha . At the same time, another
Doctor came to the pharmacy and asked to prepare some
packets of sitopaladi churna. The pharmacist decided to
prepare the churna first before making avaleha, as churna
would take less time for preparation than avaleha.
20

21. CHATRINOGACCHANTI NYAYA
:
• Padartha jnana: Chatrino – People with umbrella,
Gacchanti – Going.
• Prakriya vijnyana:
यथा बहुषु छत्रिषु गच्छत्सु अच्छत्रिष्वत्रि क
े षुत्रिच्छत्रिणो
यान्तीत्रत व्यिदेशः
A group of people are moving with most of them having
umbrellas up, so it seems like all are having umbrella,
though it is not. Thus the person who doesn’t have umbrella
also seems like having umbrella.
21

22. Yukthi ((Interpretation)
This nyaya stresses on mainly majority of subject matter
Ex - In class room majority of student having good mark
few are have less mark by analysing the performance of
class will be considered as good

Chakrapani commented that even though the useful part of
lavanga is bud in this context the term “phala” is used as
useful part in common instead of mentioning ‘bud ’ for
lavanga

हेिन्तिररहारत्रवत्रधवच्ित्रशत्रशरिररहारत्रवत्रधव्यााख्येयः cha.su.6/51
(CHAKRAPANI)
This Nyaya is explained to establish about apathya in hemanta
ritu. In ritucharya context apathya is not separately explained in
hemanta ritu. As shishira and hemanta ritucharya are similar, it
can be understood from shishira ritu- charya itself. Thus at the end
of chapter authors says that almost all the ritu’s apathya are
explained the apathya in hemanta is also understood, by
chatrinogachanti nyaya

CA NI 8/43-44 (CHAKRAPANI)
Acharya chakrapani in his commentary justified the present
context by refering chatrinogachathi nyaya as a matter ,the
Asadhyatawa of all eight diseases is described except fever
according to chatrinogachathi nyaya it is not advisable to exclude
fever while enumerating disease in this context . 27

Qualities of previous Mahabhuta enter into next Mahabhuta. But
will not holds good in case of Prithvi mahabhoota, there are
Shabda, Sparsha, Roopa, Rasa and Gandha Guna. But as other
Bhoota are not having Gandha Guna, it can’t be considered as
Poorvaguna.

In Charaka Samhita chikitsa Sthana unmada Adhyaya,
during the description of the sign, symptoms and treatment
of the five varieties of unmada
Yukthi : (Interpretation)
तस्योद्भवत्रित्यादौ यद्यत्रि िञ्िानाां ि्येऽसा्यस्य सात्रन्निात्रतकस्य

बाहुल्यिात्रित्य त्रित्रकत्रत्सतां वक्ष्यािीत्युक्ति् [
CA CHI 9/8-10( CHAKRAPANI)
The meaning of above verse is that the signs, symptoms and
treatment of the five types of unmada will be described
separately. but actually, charakacharya didn’t described the
treatment of fourth variety i.e. sannipatika unmada as it is
incurable. thus, the justification given by acharya chakrapani
by applying chatrinogacchanti nyaya in the present context

CA CHI 15/15( CHAKRAPANI)
This Nyaya is explained to establish the Sara and Kitta bhaga of
Shukradhatu. All dhatus undergo Dhatvagni paka and finally form
the Prasada and Kitta bhaga. On the other hand Shukradhatu is not
having Kitta bhaga, in this context said that all other Dhatus are
having kitta and prasada bhaga. So Dhatvagni Vyapara is accepted
as two types of paka through this nyaya.

Acharya Gayadas defined Kshudrarogas as diseases which are caused by less
etiological factors, having fewer symptoms, and which need less treatment.
But Rohini and Valmika diseases are Mahavyadhi as they are caused by all
three Doshas and have many etiological factors, also Rohini is incurable
disease and Valmika is either treated with difficulty or is incurable. Acharya
Gayadas and Dalhanacharya both have included these diseases under
Kshudraroga with the help of Chhatrinoyanti Nyaya. (Chatrinogacchanti
Nyaya)

explined that the kasa is produced due to shukra kshaya /rajayashma
Kshayaja kasa itself is not cause for the kshaya but it will increases the
intencity of kshaya because which is existing previous. 34

34. PRACTICALUTILITYIN DAY TODAY LIFE
• When many things are like one thing which is different may
be told under generalisation ,suppose in a class most of the
student would refer charaka samhita and to refer ashtanga
hridaya samhita then based on chatrinogacchanti nyaya we can
say that all are reading charaka samhita
35

35. CONCLUSION
 From the above illustrations, it can be understood that Nyayas
are the Upamanas in Loka vyavahara.
 These have been used by our Acharyas especially by the
commentators to explain and convey the idea of the author.
 Understanding of these two nyayas is very essential for the
Ayurvedic scholars for the better implementation of the
concepts of Ayurveda practically.
 By the help of these nyayas, one can get the knowledge of the
concepts of Ayurveda, various diseases, Treatment .
 Proper understanding of this Nyayas will definitely help in the
appropriate research work.
